We are so much affected when we heard of the death of your loved one.

Please accept our condolences. Going through something took a toll on my heart for the rest of my life. However, there is comfort that I gained from looking into the words of comfort that our creator Jehovah God provides in his word the Bible. I will share a few things with you. The listed scriptures give us insight as to what will happen in the near future. There are many more that explain why we die and what hope we have in the future. Revelation 21:3-4; Isaiah 65:17 and John 5:29.

My heart, love and prayers goes out to aunt Ruby's immediate family for no loss is greater or small- Aa a child, I remember when she was a member of a social club called the Jet-setters.... And that's how she lived ... all she needed was an invitation and she would have been there. While she worked at the door of the Kopacabana, Renee and I were waitresses there. We shared some long summer nights there together. She would always ask me about college. She even gave me her twin bed spread sets for my room at West Georgia College. And she always reminded me that my birthday was her wedding anniversary. Our last visit in February 2020 was a cheerful one. She loved talking about my mom Betty and their club days and how my dad Floyd helped her around the house and that she missed him. Her smile was contagious- and in her own words, " I'm not going to worry about anything." You'll be missed but always loved Your niece - Deborah Penn Sumlin
